Movie Review: Do You Believe? Experience the Power of the Cross

By Debi Lantzer @debiL1611

Synopsis of the movie:  A dozen different souls—all moving in different directions, all longing for something more. As their lives unexpectedly intersect, they each are about to discover there is power in the Cross of Christ … even if they don’t believe it. Yet.

When a local pastor is shaken to the core by the visible faith of an old street-corner preacher, he is reminded that true belief always requires action. His response ignites a faith-fueled journey that powerfully impacts everyone it touches in ways that only God could orchestrate.  More than a movie, it’s a question we all must answer in our lifetimes: DO YOU BELIEVE?

I am very grateful to have been provided with a copy of this movie, “Do You Believe?” on DVD from the awesome people over at Fishflix.com.  I really appreciated the fact that they specifically told me that I didn’t have to write a positive review on this movie, but really, how could I not?

If you’ve seen the movie, you know as I do that this movie will definitely touch the hearts of the general public. Heads will turn and hearts will change after experiencing the story. The impact is very strong and I walked away feeling more moved than I have with any other Christian movie I’ve ever watched. I’ve already started telling all my friends about it, and I’m sure that others that view this movie will do the same. Powerful stuff.

“Do You Believe?” features an amazing all-star cast consisting of Mira Sorvino, Sean Astin, Alexa Penavega, Ted McGinley, Andrea Logan White, Brian Bosworth Lee Majors and Cybill Shepherd. Set in Detroit, the characters in this movie include a minister (Ted McGinley) inspired by the words of a mysterious street preacher (Delroy Lindo) carrying a massive cross, a pregnant teen runaway (Madison Pettis) that he and his barren wife (Tracy Melchior) take in, a very ill church janitor (Brian Bosworth) who takes in a homeless mother (Mira Sorvino) and child (Makenzie Moss), a born-again EMT (Liam Matthews) and his wife (Valerie Dominguez), her PTSD-suffering brother (Joseph Julian Soria), a suicidal young woman (Alexa PenaVega), an aging couple (Lee Majors and Cybil Shepherd) still reeling from the death of their daughter and a thug (Shwayze) who finds himself ready to repent for good following a robbery gone wrong. Put all those characters together in this film – multiple-narrative tales featuring a number of different subplots – and eventually they wind up coming together together in unexpected ways.
